+1 Red Chair as well!

So I haven't even brewed my first batch yet; an Irish red kit; and I'm already wanting to get into my own recipes. I've read through "How to Brew" online already so I've at least got a starting point. I was just wondering if what I've got planned so far sounds like a disaster or not. I'm...

Just found the "Can I Mash It?" calculator in another thread and came up with 9.4x gallons. Little less than I estimated but I leave with the same conclusion. Thanks for reading anyhow!

Know there are a ton of threads that contain pieces of the info I'm seeking, but I'm just looking for a quick confirmation of my thoughts and calculations. If I were to do a 10 gallon AG batch, the grain could run up around 24 lbs depending on the recipe, displacing approximately 3 gal of space...

Sweet, thanks for the input!! Sounds like for as inexpensively as I can get Better Bottles and other fermentation equipment, a better initial investment would be a large pot and more burners. Think I'm going to start with the Northern Brewer's Irish Red Ale extract kit for my first go 'round...

Hey everybody, my name is Sean, from Northern CA, and I'm just trying to get started on my home brewing journey. My goal is to start small; 5 Gal. extract brewing; and work my way up to 10 Gal. all grain brewing. I know that doesn't sound like a huge leap for many, but right now, I'm not in this...
